Part 4/8:
In response to Dr. Alawi's situation, there was an overwhelming show of support from the local community. Hundreds of protesters gathered on the steps of the State House in Providence, vocally opposing her removal from the country and defending her character. Many attendees insisted that the actions taken against her reflect a deeper issue of racial and cultural discrimination. The protests highlighted banners with messages such as "Hands off our doctors now!" and claims of a "racist political attack" targeting Alawi's culture, nationality, and religion.
